Erosion and Sediment Control Plan Products

In its simplest terms, keeping a construction site in compliance with stormwater regulations comes down to making sure that exposed soil and sediment doesn't exit the job site. Construction site erosion problems vary, depending on the nature of the project at hand. So too, will the erosion control solutions vary depending on the nature of the project.

Construction Fabric: GeotextilesGeotextile fabric is used to increase soil and slope stabilization, ground support, and provide erosion control. They are available in different fabric weights and weave (opening) sizes, to accommodate flow-through (drainage) rate requirements for the project's surrounding environmental conditions. Bulk pricing for woven and non-woven geotextile fabrics is available upon request.

Biodegradable Sediment Control Solutions for Soil Erosion Problems Solutions to soil erosion problems also come in products made from natural fibers. The most popular natural choices for erosion control on construction sites are those made from coir (coconut fiber) or straw.

Coir Logs, Mats, Rolls, Wattles & Blankets: Coir (coconut fiber) woven fabrics are a popular solution for soil erosion control problems on construction job sites and are available in different weave sizes to accommodate specific application needs. Fabric with a larger weave allows more drainage, and also provides structure and support for young seedling plants. For a mulch effect, select a fabric with smaller weave openings. Coir logs, rolls and wattles are often used to reinforce steep slopes, stream banks, and also for filtration (as check-dams).

Straw Logs, Mats, Rolls, Wattles & Blankets: Straw fabrics are also a common biodegradable solution for erosion control problems, and are available in a selection of products to suit specific construction site needs. Straw products are generally chosen based on the application and how long it needs to be in use out in the field.

Erosion Control FenceWhile it doesn't prevent construction site erosion directly, erosion control fence (also known as silt fence) keeps construction sites in compliance by containing exposed sediment and it from escaping the construction job site.

Geotextile Erosion Control Fence: Available in either pre-staked or un-staked styles, and with customizable fabric options to suit the stormwater filtration flow rate expected on the construction job site. Use Geotextile Erosion Control Fence for perimeter fencing, erosion control, and stormwater filtration.

Impermeable Erosion Control Fence: Made from sturdy PVC fabric in high visibility yellow, Impermeable Erosion Control Fence is used for turbidity control in shallow locations like swamps and swales, and for directing stormwater flow to filtration (site exit) points.
